The abducted female students of Government Girls Comprehensive Senior Secondary School (GGCSS) Maga in Danko/Wasagu Local Government Area of Kebbi State have regained their freedom following a non-kinetic intervention by the Federal Government.
The release of the schoolgirls was achieved through coordinated efforts led by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) and the Department of State Services (DSS), relying solely on dialogue and confidence-building measures rather than armed confrontation.
The abduction had drawn nationwide concern, prompting intensified search-and-rescue directives from the Chief of Army Staff and heightened security operations across the region.
